Optimal health and well-being for all.
In 1998, UofL established the Institute for Public Health Research to focus efforts on training the next generation of clinical researchers. The institute had a five-year NIH Clinical Research Curriculum (K30) Award and offered MSPH and PhD degrees in both Epidemiology–Clinical Investigation Sciences and Biostatistics–Decision Sciences.
The School of Public Health and Information Sciences (SPHIS) was established in 2002 and remains the newest school at the university. SPHIS obtained initial CEPH accreditation in 2007. In 2012, Richard Clover, MD, the founding Dean, announced his decision to step down as SPHIS dean after founding the school and leading it for 10 years. The university conducted a national search and named Craig H. Blakely, PhD, MPH, as Dean in April 2013 who served for 10 years until his retirement in 2023. W. Paul McKinney, MD, served as Interim Dean from July 2023 until the arrival of Kathryn Cardarelli, PhD, MPH, in April 2024. In March 2025, Cardarelli was named as Interim Provost. Kathy Baumgartner, PhD, currently serve as Interim Dean.
